Some of the most successful films began as a brilliant short. Alive in Joburg became District 9. Within The Woods became The Evil Dead. This time around, a short segment within V/H/S gets its own feature length film. Can SiREN lure in the same audience it did in 2012?

In it’s 53rd year, The New York Film Festival has chosen to add an entire Shorts Program in the “Horror” genre. Alongside “Animation”, “International,” and the “New York” categories, this year’s horror shorts were all completely different and ripe for the viewing. We hope this trend sticks around from here on out.

Comedy and horror oftentimes go hand in hand. A new release, starring Whedonverse favorite, Fran Kranz, brings the giggles and the gore. One month and counting until BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS hits theaters and VOD.

So many films, so little time! This year’s Tribeca Film Festival gave us some truly frightening new films.

A film’s ad campaign can make or break a theatrical run. Oftentimes, the entire plot of a film is laid out in a trailer. If the film is a comedy, forget it. All the best jokes are already available in a 2:30 minute television spot. Horror, on the other hand, must be carefully edited so as not to give away too much of the story. We hope for a plot twist, but also keep our fingers crossed that the trailer itself doesn’t already give it away. Ad campaigns are seemingly straight forward with very few exceptions.
